Customer Reviews

What a delightful way to learn about American history!

Lehmberg and Knapp have given the readers some memorable anecdotes about artists and their art forms as we travel from Revolutionary War era to Twentieth Century. It is an enjoyable guide for all ages

Very educational for the kids!

Your kids will gain a whole new understanding of the art they see in a museum. And adults can learn a thing or two as well.

Fabulous book! Suddenly museums are fun.

Not only is this an invaluable book for children, but also for adults. I read a copy of the book before I went on a date. She was fascinated by the facts which I had gleamed from the book. Needless to say we are going out again, this time to see a French Impressionist exhibit! Good thing Knapp and Lehmberg wrote two other books!!!
